County officials canceled just before 2 p.m. a state of emergency declared this morning.

Original posting:

Perry County was placed under a state of emergency shortly after 10 a.m. Friday due to icy roads.

The county commissioners provided the News a proclamation "encouraging all citizens of Perry County ... to be alert of the road conditions and refrain from travel on the ice-covered roadways unless absolutely necessary."

They weren't closing any roads, the document noted, but the officials were "asking citizens not to travel if possible."
